CARGOLOGICGERMANY (CLG) is getting ready to roll, but has already sourced three Boeing 737 freighters destined for the German register and will serve a German market 'ripe' for an additional express operator, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The start-up project, a partner carrier of the Volga-Dnepr Group (VDG), has plans for up to nine B737Fs and is currently seeking an air operator certificate from the German aviation regulator, Luftfahrt-Bundesamt.
Volga-Dnepr vice president Ulrich Ogiermann said that the German airline will follow the business model of VDG's first partner airline, the UK-registered CargoLogicAir (CLA).
'As in the UK, the German carrier has to be a completely independent airline standing on its own feet, with its own business model and people.' he told London's Freighters World.
'There is nobody in London or in Moscow telling them what needs to be done. That is a very clear requirement of any airline in any country: a clear ownership structure and ownership rules.'
.Mr Ogiermann said CargoLogicGermany will focus on the express business: 'We have secured the first three aircraft, Boeing 737s converted by AEI. The first one will arrive in October and the other ones in November and December or early January.'
CargoLogicGermany will operate a fleet of B737Fs, and the business plan goes up to nine aircraft, serving a German market with 'a multitude of express requirements'.
